1 fresh lemon (or lime, like the one in the photo) 2–3 tablespoons of coarse salt (sea salt or kosher salt works best) A small dish or plate (to catch any juices) Instructions Slice the Citrus: You can either cut the top off and scoop a bit out (like the picture) OR cut the lemon into quarters—but don’t cut all the way through. Leave the base connected so it opens up like a flower. Add the Salt: Generously pour the coarse salt into the center of the cut fruit. Placement: Place the salted fruit on a small dish to protect your furniture from acidic juices. Set it and Forget it: Place it on your nightstand, desk, or a corner of your room. What it actually does: Neutralizes Odors: Salt is naturally hygroscopic, meaning it draws in moisture and airborne odors. Subtle Aromatherapy: The open fruit releases limonene, which can subtly boost your mood and make the room smell fresh. Replaced after: 3 to 5 days (before the fruit starts to spoil or ferment).
